The Kittens and the Blue Raccoon Copyright 2003 SilkyTofu (aka R.S. Okuma) Kittens do laundry in pink moonlight Wash calico mittens and paws Delightful delectables, delicious, divine Lint balls cling to their claws The Blue Raccoon, a rascal thief Brings cat nip gifts, lollipop toys A red balloon, a bell that rings, “ships, ships ahoy!” Filled to the brim of a black velvet sack Slung down his shoulder and over his back “Darling, darling kittens”, he woos “Your mother sleeps fast, deep in the woods Sent me to fetch you, without a delay No time to wonder, there’s no time to play So come to the land of honey and milk drink out of bowls made of silk” Into the sack they tripped and fell Over their mittens and under their tails The Blue Raccoon just chuckled and hummed His heart beat faster, his heart did drum “Come to the land of honey and milk drink out of bowls made of silk Lullaby, lullaby, loodledeedumm” His belly ripe, so round and plump A better meal could not have done Licking fingers sucking his thumbs Kittens taste like peppermint plumb Mittens make such furry wreaths But lint balls stick to teeth Lint balls stick to teeth “Lullaby, lullaby, loodledeedumm”
